Carrie Underwood praying for 'Sound of Music' critics

Carrie Underwood said she was "honored" to be in "Sound of Music Live!"

Carrie Underwood, who played Maria on NBC's live production of "The Sound of Music," is responding in a gentle manner to detractors of her portrayal of Maria, the iconic role made famous by Julie Andrews in 1965.

Rather than blasting those who didn't fully enjoy her performance as the governess to the von Trapp children, the singer revealed that she prayed for them.
